News for December 2011 News for December 2011 Thursday 1 December 2011 - report from Pete Campbell: Today's ride was to Luckington and the Old Royal Ship. But today was not just any old Thursday ride, because it is the day of the Christmas Lunch. People were looking for an improvement on last year’s weather, when there was ice on the road and a few crashes. Although there were forecasts of rain, it was dry when were were on the road, mild, and very light winds. so a definite improvement this year. Fourteen riders turned up at Mangotsfield Station for Wayne to lead us. Two had made a special effort as it was Christmas and decorated their bikes: Pete Brown had tinsel draped across his carrier, and Lara Day had a chain of fairy lights. I made no concessions for Christmas, you may be shocked to read. Basically, everyone is looking forward to their turkey, so Wayne planned a direct route to Luckington: Pucklechurch, Hinton, up Cock Lane and across the A46. Then straight on to the Gibb, and turn left at Grittleton. But we were putting in such a fast time that it was likely we'd be at the pub well before 12:00, so Wayne put in an extra loop via Sherston, which got us to lunch at around noon. Of course, we visit the Old Royal Ship a few times every year and they always do well for us, but their performance at the three Christmas lunches I've attended has been exceptional. This year there were ninety three people, mostly cyclists or ex-cyclists, with a few (in John Bishop's words) friends and friends of friends. John welcomed everyone and the meal was served. We had a three course traditional Christmas lunch, which I think was the same last year and the year before, but I suspect that if there was even a suggestion that the menu should change there would be an outcry. Anyway, why change a good thing? The starter was a soup with two types of bread, the main course was turkey, stuffing, sausage, roast potatoes and roast parsnips, sprouts and carrots - all excellent - and to finish we had Christmas pudding and custard. What else could you want? Lastly, to fortify us before getting back on the road: coffee and mince pies. I guess about two and a half hours for lunch is long enough. Anyway, Wayne was encouraging us to get back to the bikes. The only rain of the day had fallen while we were dining, so after wiping the raindrops from the saddles, we hit the road. Through Badminton and across the A46 at Old Sodbury, we eventually returned to the morning route at Pucklechurch. Today's route map? Click here. Thursday 8th December 2011 - report from Bill Balchin: Gales, rain and snow was the weather for the North of England and Scotland this week while in the South we had bright sunshine on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. But Thursday is our important cycling day and while the country continued to be hammered in the North our sunshine gave way to clouds and a strong Southerly wind. I had such a struggle into it that I only arrived at Ashton Gate as the other seven starters were preparing to set off through the Ashton Court estate for the trip to the Windmill at Portishead. I hope nobody went to Nailsea as printed in the programme. No chance for a rest as we were soon climbing up to the new cafe/mountain bike centre where we picked up Polish Robert. A mountain bike would have been useful on some of the muddy tracks but there is not much that a touring bike can't cope with. Despite the threatening sky the rain was holding off as we got onto the main road as far as the George at Abbots Leigh where we turned left into Manor Road. Malcolm had taken over the leader's role after John reported-in sick. Having a Sustrans ranger lead the way is a mixed blessing. Malcolm knows all the lanes and decided to give us a bonus by taking a track that goes past Abbots Pool - a new one on me and most of the others. After admiring the water and taking a photo we pressed on towards Failand. Now why are they stopping? Ah, puncture. Not you again John. "Don't you start as well!" came the tetchy reply. By now the rain could wait no longer and we had drizzle with the head-wind descending into Portbury then taking Caswell Lane parallel to the motorway. Passing under the motorway bridge the rain had got heavier and many used the shelter to add more waterproofs. Often when we do that the rain stops soon after - no chance today. Along to Naish Hill we turned right to bring us to Portishead where the first thing you see is a big ridge between you and your destination. We took the left option towards Clevedon then the right turn into Valley road to climb to the coast road and bring us to the Windmill soon after noon and dripping wet. Just George Martin and Brian Griffiths out on their bikes to meet us (plus Brian Kington drove up just before we left). Our little group was hardly noticeable in such a big pub, apart from spreading wet clothing and helmets around the place. Super-efficient service saw us fed, watered and ready leave by twenty past one. Dropping into town we took cycle route 26 through the new houses onto the Sheepway then the rough track around the docks car park. Although the rain had stopped the potholes were full of water but we could forgive that as the wind was now in our favour. At the foot of the M5 bridge some took the Pill path while a bigger group crossed the bridge to get onto the Portway. I rode alone through Lawrence Weston on cycle route 41 crossing the new bridge that has replaced the previous one damaged by a lorry. Back came the rain for the rest of the trip as I got home almost in the dark at three - double glad. Glad to have got out on the bike, and glad to get back indoors in the dry. If you stayed home today you missed a wonderful opportunity to test your wet weather gear. The wet route out, and home via the Pill path - click here. Thursday 15th December 2011 - report from Bill Balchin: Weatherwise this week has been a reversal of last week. Instead of dry sunny conditions followed by a dull, wet Thursday last week, this Thursday was cold, bright and dry after three days of rain, wind, hail, thunder and anything else that the weather could lay it's hands on. John Bishop had to pass on leading today to go to a funeral so Martyn stepped in to lead the way from the Swan at Winterbourne to the Pear Tree at Charfield with a dozen in tow. Incidently, a footnote to last week. We know that John Turton had another puncture but maybe you don't know that he had to borrow a tube from Wayne. On the way home as Martyn, John and Wayne headed for the Portway after crossing the Avonmouth bridge Martyn had a blowout. He put in a new tube when that blew as well. Now, by this time, sitting in the warm you are probably thinking "split tyre" but out in the cold and wet and being harrassed it is not so obvious. As the third tube was being pumped up that bubblegum bulge appeared. "Ah look there it" <BANG> "is". Damn, all tubes now used by all cyclists. Nothing else for it but phone home and beg for a lift. Anyway, back to today we set off down the main road towards Frampton then School Road and into Frampton End Road. Despite all the recent rain it was wet but not flooded, in fact the rain may have helped by washing the mud away. At Iron Acton we crossed the main road and took Chaingate Lane and on to Mapleridge then over the common enjoying the sunshine and the company and the chance to get out riding again. Into Hillesley and we took the roller-coaster road through Alderly where Mike and Roger on their fixies were impressive with legs flying on the downhill and then standing on the pedals to climb the other side. We regrouped at the top of Nind Lane and had a quick photo session before plunging down and through Kingswood. There was a brief shower as we rode the final section into Charfield to arrive a few minutes after noon. I remember when Andy Starling took over the Pear Tree a few years ago. He seemed like a man who would do well and he certainly has. He put on a special cyclists menu with our regular choices - ham and egg, battered fish, filled chiabattas all served with Pear Tree chips which are chunky, crisp on the outside and soft in the middle - delicious. It is not only policemen who are getting younger, now it is also pub landlords. I can't think what the reason could be. Leaving the pub by one thirty the sun was still out so we took New Road and past Huntingford Mill to Damery and Tortworth to put in a loop of lovely lanes rather than taking the main road. After Tytherington we took the Old Goucester Road back towards Bristol for the homeward split up.

  • Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws SLR 02/10: Closing date for responses – 25 June 2010 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e.

The Local Plan is a set of documents (currently comprising the Joint Waste Core Strategy and Core Strategy) which will update and replace the previous South Gloucestershire Local Plan (adopted 2006) and Minerals & Waste Local Plan (adopted 2002) and will guide future planning decisions in the district. 1.2 The Local Plan ‘lead’ document is the Core Strategy. This sets out the overall development strategy for South Gloucestershire and contains the strategic planning policies to deliver that strategy. As the strategic component of the Local Plan, the Core Strategy sets out 9 strategic objectives. These establish the basis for the policies contained in the Plan and how the Council expresses and responds to the challenge of delivering sustainable development.

  • Occasional Papers, No
    Occasional Papers, no. 46 SCUDAMORE DESCENDANTS OF CERTAIN YOUNGER SONS THAT CAME OUT OF UPTON SCUDAMORE, WILTSHIRE by Warren Skidmore Preface The Skidmores of both Somerset and Derbyshire were settled in the area surrounding the village of Wellow in Somerset from the late 15th century. A large number of descendants from around the world come from these ancestors. This family is well documented in Warren Skidmore’s “Thirty Generations”. However, where this family came from, as with the large Westerleigh, Gloucestershire branch, is unknown. Though Skidmore/Scudamore had been a local name in Upon Scudamore up to the 14th century, that branch of the family appeared to end and a cadet branch blossomed in Herefordshire. The family then reappeared in Somerset with a single mention of John Skydemor in 1441 in Dunkerton (next to Wellow) amerced in a view of frankpledge. The line that has been documented as continuous began with Robert Skydmor who is first noticed as a juror in a view of frankpledge in Wellow Hundred in 1486. Of course, this was a time before parish records were required. Unless a person is mentioned in a legal document that has survived they will not have been recorded, and it is likely that there are many people, and indeed generations, of which we do not know. Nevertheless, it does seem that the Wellow Skidmores migrated from elsewhere. The most likely place, given the size of the family there, would be Herefordshire. However, a possibility existed that they may have come from Devon. Skidmores were certainly prominent there, being farmers, clergy and lords of a manor.

The author is pleased to be informed of errors and to receive additional information for consideration for future updates at [email protected] This file was last updated by Linda Moffatt on 9 March 2017. DATES • Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.
